Our experience was awesome. Why the low stars? Well we did come for the early part of happy hour. Not many people in the bar. The bar server was great, so attentive and friendly. I love that the bar ambiance is open and brightly lite plenty of bar seating and many tables near the open windows. Seemed to have lots of regular patrons.. everyone knows each others names. We opted for a few happy hour snacks. Tits tiered pricing and the lowest $7 price includes plenty of bar snacks. We chose the pretzel bites that came out piping hot with 2 types of sauces: a sweet mustard and a white cheese. Both tasty. It happens to also be $1 wing day- all day(Wed). I only eat flappers and it was only an additional $1 to ask for a full plate of flappers. The sauce was perfect: hot wings. I did wish the wings weee a bit more meatier. Hubby LOVED his boneless wings, with a dry rub. They looked humongous. read more

We came here for dinner on the way back north. The food I thought was better than I expected. You can have different rubs and sauces and you can order all flats or all drums if you want. A few weird things that made me take a star off: children at the bar. Not just a high top at the bar area, but sitting at the bar itself. The other thing was a dog inside. I would love to have my dog there - is that actually allowed or was this because the person is a regular? Otherwise a decent option for dinner and to watch some sports. read more

Our first time visiting this local bar. Stopped by The Anchor Bar in Leesburg and had a great experience! Our server was absolutely fantastic--friendly, attentive, and quick with refills. The wings came out hot and crispy, with a generous portion that's perfect for sharing (or not!). Add in the excellent happy hour prices, and it's easily one of the best casual spots in town for wings and drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Anchor Bar Leesburg - Boneless Single Wings $1 Wednesday - Chicken Wings Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

TLDR: Good food, quick service, go sports! Every time we drove past this place, we always said "Oh, we should go there for lunch!" and then never went. So finally, we did it. Only took us over a year. But after that experience, we weren't impressed unfortunately. I'm not sure what I expected. It was dead inside. Only 1 or 2 (of ~20) tables in the dining room were taken when we got there & a few people at the bar. We went during dinner hours, so I thought that was odd. Maybe this place fills up during big sports events? Or maybe they have more things going on in the summer? During the summer, I know we used to see a Drink Specials board outside and a bunch of full outdoor tables. I'd like to come back here during the summer to eat outside since inside wasn't the best experience. Food (4/5): We got the Pretzel Bites ($9.99), Chicken Caesar Wrap ($12.99), and the Steak Philly Sandwich ($15.50). All were delicious! The same queso from the Pretzel Bites is on the Steak Philly Sandwich, so if you're not looking for the same flavors smothering your app & entree, don't pair them together. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was perfect: not dry & not full of lettuce. I loved it and would get it again. Their fries are also great. The Pretzel Bites were ok. They're your normal frozen pretzels with a large DENSE side of queso. The Steak Philly Sandwich was great but.... this is on us: we didn't know it came with mushrooms... we don't like mushrooms. Yes, the menu says it comes with mushrooms. No, we did not fully read what was in it. That's 100% on us. So the food rating is not based on that. The sandwich was great regardless. Ambiance (1/5): We unfortunately went when a group of people brought a 2 & 3 year old. The staff & group's adults allowed the kid to use the booth as a trampoline, scream, and bang utensils on the plate for our entire stay there. We tried to distract ourselves by watching baseball on one of the 1000 big screens they had. The flags above the dining room were cool. Service (5/5): Our server was quick and gave us space. I'm sure they were there for a while, or just listening to the children screaming in the corner was driving them insane since they seemed like they were so done. read more

I was amped to head out to the Anchor Bar location in Leesburg to see if the wings tasted as good as I remembered. I ordered 10 medium buffalo and 10 honey bourbon bbq wings with a side of blue cheese. My tastebuds immediately remembered why these OG wings are constantly voted as the best in every city that they touch down in. The pizza logs are also a must that you have to order. I believe that this might be the best way to consume one of my favorite meals. I love that fact it only requires one hand to achieve the perfect dipping method to get a generous marinara sauce to pizza ratio. read more

So this is a mixed bag review. First, the wings- it is like going to Disney's Epcot France Pavilion for years and then the actual country. The wings tasted just like Buffalo Wild Wings---and while I'm Sure they copied, it still tasted the same, I also got a "beef on wreck" which was stunning, Salty, beefy with fennel bread and dipping sauce....so good, read more

First time eating at Anchor Bar - second time visiting (first time was a special event)... Ordered the crispy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, coated in Buffalo sauce, Comes with lettuce, tomato, and onion, plus a side of tater tots and a pint of a local IPA from Old Ox Brewery. My friend ordered a pizza - which he enjoyed. Our server was awesome - food came out fairly quickly. Sammich and tots were good. I requested a side of the Buffalo sauce to dip my tots in - they brought that out quickly. Service was good. The menu on the table has a bar code on it - if one scans it with your phone camera - it will bring up a list of the current local craft beers they carry. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday evening. I will be back! #AnchorBar read more

As part of a famous buffalo wings place, I expected nothing less than what this brought. A solid sports bar, many options for wings flavors, and a loud crowd. I think the flavors of the buffalo wings are spot on, but nothing so special that you have to go out of your way to find this. If anything, I think that the other flavors pale slightly so other than the buffalo wings, I wouldn't recommend anything. Other than that, the ambiance is great with tons of TVs. I would come back for solo dining and/or to enjoy their famous buffalo wings. read more

My wife and I had dinner there on 9/5/2024. She had a cheeseburger and fries. She ordered the burger well done. Surprisingly, it was cooked perfectly. It was still juicy. Alot of restaurants overcook a burger if it's ordered well done. Burger was very tasty. Fries were average. I ordered the Beef on Weck with tots, instead of Fries. The roast beef itself was average, most of the meat was over cooked. It should be medium rare and paper thin. The meat was about an 1/8" thick. I wish it was thinner. The bun was fresh, nice and salty. The bun makes up for bland meat. I was also given some au jus. The sandwich dipped in the au jus was a good bite. The tater tots were nice and crispy. Service was pretty good. A decent meal. We will probably try it again. read more

I love the Buffalo ranch dry rub. Service has improved the last couple times we've been there.

As a Central Nee York native, I was so excited to see this here in Virginia. I was quite let down however. The pizza was awful- how much sugar is in the sauce? The wings would have been great but they were so dry. The wings dip was really the only acceptable thing that we tried. I was very disappointed. read more

Typical bar food and great place to catch a game. Service is fair and I would go back but there are other choices.

Travel Channel once did a special on sports bar food with Anchor Bar being featured as the originator of the Buffalo wing as I recall. Originating in Buffalo, NY, it's now expanded outside that area and made it's way into Leesburg. Of course I had to check it out for myself as someone who loves sports, wings, and has had genuine pleasant interactions with Bills mafia when encountered. I've only sat at the bar area; there's plenty of televisions available for watching games there and beer selection has several local brews including Lost Rhino, Old Dominion, Old Ox, and Flying Dog. As for food, they've got typical bar eats including wings (obviously), pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. Buffalo eats such as the Beef on Weck is also available as well. I've done the wings everytime I'm here. They aren't the best I've had as the batches I've had are a bit overfried and tough but it's drenched in sauce which I like and some are tender in the batch. I expect them to figure out their niche and improve on the flavor as they get themselves established. The bartenders are generally nice and attentive. I did notice my first time there, I asked if they could split wing flavors but they said they only do that when it's not busy. Not sure how that makes sense since it's just tossing them in another sauce but I didn't argue. Maybe short-staffed? And it was on a Sunday? Eh, who knows. I'm glad Leesburg has another sports bar in the area especially in this shopping center. We'll see how they progress and if they are a mainstay here. read more

Went to Anchor Bar to catch a game, and I have to say, it's the perfect spot! Tons of TVs everywhere, so you won't miss a single play, and the atmosphere is just right - lively but still comfortable. The food was way better than I expected for a sports bar. The pizza logs are a must-try! They're loaded with cheese and super crispy. Honestly, it's hard not to order a second round. And the buffalo flavor on the pizza and wings was spot-on, not too spicy but still full of that classic kick. One of the highlights was definitely the Roast Beef on Weck. The beef was super tender and juicy. And if you're a mac & cheese fan, do yourself a favor and get the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. It was so creamy and full of flavor that it quickly became one of my favorites. The service was top-notch, too. Our server was on it the whole time, and the manager even stopped by to chat, he was hilarious and made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about their guests here. We went on a Tuesday night which was music bingo night, it was really fun and luckily we won 2 times!!! If you're looking for a fun spot to grab good food and watch a game, I can't recommend Anchor Bar enough! read more

They are a fairly new sports bar where Eggspectation used to be. I came in on a Friday night around 5PM. They weren't too busy, but it didn't take long til they had a pretty full house. I sat at the bar, and the service was pretty good with just a few hiccups: my order was taken fairly quickly, didn't have very long to wait for my appetizer (from the happy hour menu) and my drink was refilled fairly quickly. The only couple hiccups was I waited quite a bit for my burger and they gave me regular fries even though I asked for sweet potato fries. They were quick to grab me an order of sweet potato fries, though, no problem! I got to have 2 types of fries! Overall, pretty solid service. I had the onion rings, regular fries, sweet potato fries and a mushroom Swiss burger. Great onion rings and both types of fries were good! the mushroom Swiss burger was good; it would've just been better had they included caramelized onions on top as well. All in all, pretty happy and full. Pretty lively sports bar and definitely a pretty good place to hang out and watch games. They have tables outside, too, if inside is a little too much for you. On good weather days, they open the dining area to the patio. Solid choice for a chill hang out. read more

Yuck. I had high hopes but guess I should have looked at reviews first. I ordered the weck and wings combo. The sandwich was much smaller than pictured and the meat was very well done, dry and salty. To top it off there was a piece of toothpick in the bun which I luckily noticed since I usually take one side of the bun off. The wings were so tough and small. I had 5 wings and could only eat 2. Two had feathers sticking out and were so over fried you couldn't even pull the skin off. And to top it off no soap in the men's restroom. read more

All the hype! Damn good wings. That's about it. I was trying to get the beer menu up and the server didn't know the beers and he handed a sheet with QR codes. The codes were too close together and I had trouble getting the menu up. But the worst was prepackaged ranch and blue cheese dressings. Authentic? Really? Bathroom clean. Service was pushy.

This is the former location of Eggspectation. This was our first time at Anchor Bar. Very sports bar looking and with the story about the founders from Buffalo, so known for its wings. I wanted to try them and also the Pizza Rolls and the pizza. Our server was one of the nicest I've ever had! She smiled all the time! The pizza rolls who looked like egg rolls were large. Piping hot! When opening them up they oozed with a generous amount of mozzarella and pizza sauce. The crust was crispy and tasty. I had terriacki wings and all flats! You could order them like that and served with delicious blue cheese dressing and extra chunky. The pizza was just extra cheese. Very good. I will experiment with toppings next time. read more

LOUDON'S NEW BUFFALO SPORTS BAR: Leesburg just got a great new sports bar that features the famous Anchor Bar wings from Buffalo NY. Their menu also features Beef on Weck sandwiches, Pizza with Cup and Char Pepperoni (Buffalo's unique pepperoni), and Pizza Logs. They have 24 beers on tap and have 45 TVs making it a great location during NFL season to watch multiple games at once. Given their Buffalo roots this should be the ideal place to catch Buffalo Bills NFL games. In 2009, the Anchor Bar Franchise & Development Company opened its first franchise outlet and now has several locations in Western New York, Texas, Maryland, Illinois, Georgia and now Virginia. The Buffalo, New York-based restaurant chain is claimed to be the creator of the Original Buffalo Wing. Established in 1935 by Frank and Teressa Bellissimo, this restaurant currently serves more than ten million pounds of chicken wings annually across its franchisees. Anchor Bar franchise & development company CEO and president Mark Dempsey said: "Leesburg, Virginia is a remarkable location. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give the community a chance to experience our James Beard Gold Medal Award Winning Wings. read more

Have been in restaurant many times, service and food is terrific. However, was in for dinner 10/10/25 and there was some kind of kid's party. The noise level and chanting made for an unpleasant experience. Adults at a kid's party need to be respectful of other patrons and keep their kids under control. Staff could have done a better job of gentle reminders. read more

It's an extremely solid sports bar. The ability for it to open to the outside was great - and should add a lot to sports watching weekends. Food was pretty good. Understand your expectations are at a sports bar level, and you'll live. They don't have 100 beers on tap, or 50 menu items, but our food was great and the wings are probably the best in town for this specific type of place (BWW and BWF). Service was great, and it really seems like they've ironed the kinks out in past reviews of good service and well expedited food. read more

Being from the Buffalo area I was very excited about seeing Anchor bar come to Leesburg after having not lived in WNY since 1988. Debate aside about the real originator of the Buffalo wing, Anchor bar definitely made them popular and a national dish. I love how everything is themed in such a way that it honors Buffalo, the Bills, other Buffalo franchises. The food is ok, but their wings are definitely the specialty here. Unique beverages like Loganberry is on point! There's more than enough screens and they do a great job of making sure every table has great views. However, unfortunately during my last visit I had a view of and sometimes an earful of something I was surprised to see. After sitting down and placing my order I noticed a furry patron at the bar! I'm all for "pet friendly" environments and love my dog as a member of my family; however this was a bit much for me. I personally think dogs should remain on the floor and preferably outdoors (patio) in public places, unless they're service or support animals. Even as a service or support animal however they should not be allowed in chairs or at the bar, or at food level, and with staff petting them then returning back to work and/or serving food to patrons. Regardless of how clean this pup may have been, this can't be according to code. Furthermore the dog barked at new patrons as they came into the establishment and nothing was ever done. WTH. Anchor Bar I've known you for years, most of my life. I've visited you on Main St. in Buffalo several times. Airports, etc. I've never seen you represent yourselves or Buffalo as poorly as you did during this experience. You have a great establishment. Humans and animals both can have a great experience w/o going to these extremes. This may have been cute; but clean? I have my doubts. The kicker: although I didn't see use of it, there was a bowl in front of the dog's chair, on the bar! YIKES! I heard others complain as well and only because I feel a connection with one of the few icons I grew up with in Buffalo, that I'm writing a very rare review. No person should ever question sanitary status in a restaurant and/or not be able to eat comfortably and in peace. Anchor Bar, do better! read more

Grace was a fantastic server! food about what we expected. Bears were losing at halftime.

My wife and I ordered door dash from this location because we both put in 12 hour shifts at work and didn't want to leave the house to get food. They completely forgot to bag her food and only bagged mine. She called, spoke to someone and they said "yeah we have your food here." We went and picked it up, MILES from our house. It was COLD, not fresh, and the employee handed it to here and said "here you go" not an apology, not fresh food, not a refund, not a credit for a future visit. Totally rude, uncaring and disrespectful staff. We will NEVER eat here again. Such a shame that this place is supposed to be the premier wing spot... they don't show it with how they treat their customers. We will get our wings from Applebees next time, at least it will be fresh. This place blows chunks. read more

After order a mean for myself and my husband for delivery through DoorDash, my chicken Caesar wrap was not bagged with the rest of our food and not given to our DoorDash driver. I called and they still had it at the restaurant so I drove to pick it up. I did not get any sort of apology or acknowledgement from the business. My food was disgusting. It was cold and they threw a pickle in there which got juice all over my wrap making it soggy. There was no dressing on the wrap. I drove all the way over there and wasn't even offered an apology.
